Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the flame retardant ability by using the blend of the predetermined material for the base polymer. CONSTITUTION:The composition is compounded of 90-20wt.% of the ethylene.methylmethacrylate and 10-80wt.% of the polymer comprising the halogen. The polymer comprising the halogen is the chlorinated polyethylene. The ethylene.methylmethacrylate and the blend of the polymer comprising the halogen have the similar solubility parameter, and the fine compatibility is held between them.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an electrical insulating composition, particularly an electrical insulating composition with excellent flame retardancy.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, polymer materials such as polyethylene, crosslinked polyethylene, ethylene/propylene rubber, butyl rubber, and polyvinyl chloride have been used as insulating materials for electric wires and cables.

By the way, in recent years, electric wires and cables have been promoting fires,
There have been a number of cases where fires have started. For this reason, insulating materials for electric wires and cables are required not only to have inherent electrical insulation properties and heat resistance, but also to have flame retardancy.

In order to meet these demands, powdered flame retardants containing chlorine or bromine are added to halogen-free polymer materials such as polyethylene, cross-linked polyethylene, ethylene/propylene rubber, butyl rubber, or halogen-free polymer materials are added to the polymer materials. It is common practice to impart flame retardancy to these insulating materials by blending containing polymers.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the method of adding a powdered flame retardant has the problem of causing a phenomenon (bloom) in which the flame retardant precipitates on the surface during use, reducing the quality of the product. In addition, the method of blending halogen-containing polymers has the problem that the polymers are not sufficiently compatible with each other due to the difference in polarity, resulting in economical phase separation, resulting in a significant decrease in mechanical properties.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electrical insulating composition that can impart flame retardancy while eliminating the drawbacks of the prior art described above.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] The gist of the present invention is to use ethylene as a base polymer for an electrical insulation composition.
It uses a blend of methyl methacrylate (EMMA) and a halogen-containing polymer, thereby imparting flame retardancy without impairing its original properties such as electrical insulation and heat resistance.

In the present invention, the blend of ethylene methyl methacrylate and halogen-containing polymer retains very good compatibility due to their similar solubility parameters.

The reason why the blend ratio of ethylene methyl methacrylate (EMMA) and halogen-containing polymer was limited as above is that if EMMAit exceeds 90% by weight, sufficient flame retardance cannot be obtained, and conversely, if EMMAit exceeds 90% by weight, it cannot be obtained. This is because it is inferior in terms of heat resistance.
